You are given the DVD complete series set of a show you loved in your childhood, settle down with your Godsons, and every disc begins with the words "Technical anomalies are inherent in historical footage"HISTORICAL FOOTAGE???!!! It's 35/40 years old, not freaking Hindenburg crash footage!

But, I did threaten to call the police on a bunch of teenage hooligans who were drinking and smoking outside of my house when the kids of a trashy neighbor were holding a party in January. It was the ONE night I went to bed before midnight and just needed some peace and quiet. My 5-foot-2, 112 pound self went medieval on their asses, and they fled the premises in 2 seconds flat and apologized. My husband, who was watching True Detective could not believe I took matters into my own hands and told me to never do that again while laughing. All I can say is, do not fuck with me when I have my period. I felt badass, old, bitchy and brave all at once. Fucking teenagers.

When your kids announce they just don't get "your generations" sense of humor when introducied to the holiday classic, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. True story, unfortunately. It happened at my in-law's house when they were babysitting for us while we went the the hubby's work Xmas party this year, so they thought their dig about "your generation" was directed at their grandparents, but the reason they chose that movie was specifically because they were sure kids would love this movie as much as their dad & his brothers always did, so the comment applies to my generation as well. Apparently my kids weren't having it, were not amused in the least, and actually asked them to just turn it off about half way through…

You can no longer pull off an all-nighter…Hubby & I stayed up till the very wee hours on Friday playing darts & having extra cocktails knowing kids were safe in bed & would be leaving first thing Sat morning to go on a quick vacay with the grandparents & we'd have the next day to recover. Cut to 5am & one kid throwing up. Vacay postponed & MamaRay on emergency barf bucket status for the next 24 hours… Little ones all finally ready to hit the road about noon on Sunday. Hubby & I literally laid down to nap as soon as they drove off & did not get up until time for work Monday morning.

@PotPourri, LOL with the Eagles comment. I went to see Heaven 17, a great 80s band, on a weeknight, and they started at 8:30. The vast majority of the crowd was aged 35-55 and appeared to have either a babysitter waiting at home, an office to be at the next morning, or both. At the end of the concert they said, "We'll be back in town soon!" and I thought, next time you're going to have to play the Early Bird Special. Maybe a 6pm show.

Its Just U – I was thinking that same thing about wardrobes. I still have my 1980s jeans with the tapered legs (like skinny jeans of today) and contrasting colors of denim, but those pants and my butt aren't on speaking terms. Only reason I'm not more upset about this is I got the pants when I was 13 or 14.

Listening to CBC radio; radio guy just asked woman how old she is and who's her role model, her reply: 20 & Will I Am. BEK(I can't spell so I certainly can't spell his name) – radio guy stunned and so was the listener. Radio didn't follow up with a question, there was just the silence of a generation gap.

Yep, the last few gigs I've been to have been reformations….The Specials, Nik Kershaw, Kim Wilde, Lloyd Cole and the Commotions…..

I live down the road from one of Sydney's most popular music venues and I feel awful old when I walk past and don't recognise the name of the band playing that night, which it's it increasingly is! I thought Imagine Dragons was a kiddy show like the Wiggles just with dragons! Sad…

When your friends have been discussing for a few years how you, as the youngest, will apparently be looking after them in the group home (one we buy, not a nursing home). The women do outnumber the men, so we will be having hot male nurses, hot male gardeners, and hot male home handymen! (We're in our 40's!!!!)

You can tell how strong the gravitational pull is anywhere on planet earth by taking off your bra.

…you become older than the grown-ups on the TV shows you grew up watching as a kid.The first show to do that to me was a Cheers rerun a few years back. Norm was having a birthday and when Coach asked him how old he was he was YOUNGER than me…and I watched that episode when it originally aired in the 80s. I went into a two week ice cream binge over that.

@feraltart my friends and I have a Golden Girls house too! I once made a joke plan of it for a friends birthday about a decade ago…more of a reality now though. Here's to hot pool boys and daiquiris in our dotage!

When your son asks you how old you were when your parents got you a cell phone and you have to explain that they didn't have those when you were young. And then you either get a blank or horrified stare in return. Sigh.

The caption in Random Photos about Debbie Harry looking great as she nears 70. SEVENTY?!?! Debbie Harry? Where does the time go? I had the little 45 of "Call Me" that I played on my portable record player constantly. My friends and I felt so sophisticated because we'd heard that the song came from a movie that had a "MAN HOOKER" in it!!! Stroke the pearls!!!
